Th goal of ths classfcaton s partton all polcs n partclar portfolo nto homognos classs. Wthn vry class, all polcyholdrs pay th sam pr prmm. To dsgn classfcaton ratng plans, actars s th gnralzd lnar modls (GLM tchnq. In GLM modl, th dpndnt varabl s sally th clam svrty or th clam frqncy for th polcy. In th papr w focs on th clam frqncy.

Howvr th nsranc portfolos hav a vry spcfc charactrstc,.. for many polcs thr ar no clams obsrvd n th nsranc hstory for a gvn prod of tm. It mans that th data contans lots of zros and, as a consqnc, th Posson rgrsson may not gv satsfactory rslts (zro-nflaton ffct. In ordr to allow th prsnc of xcss zros n nsranc portfolo, th zro-nflatd modls ar appld (Lambrt, 199; Yp and Ya, 005; Wolny-Domnak, 013. Th classc modl s th zro nflatd Posson modl (ZIP, whch s a mxtr of a Posson dstrbton and a zro pont mass.
